There’s actually a gear drive you connect your drill to, not one of the eye bolts. Top actually straps to the bottom of the rack, see https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/simple-question-leads-to-mini-garage-remodel-racor-hoist-and-topsy-bracket-done.13377/ for reference.
I do have...
@steffen707 - I borrowed this idea from the Wrangler forum where several guys have used this specific hoist! Check out https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/simple-question-leads-to-mini-garage-remodel-racor-hoist-and-topsy-bracket-done.13377/ - there’s another post I did a few weeks...
There’s another thread regarding first mods owners will be doing where I posted this but I have a few boxes sitting in my garage already...
K&N air intake system
Mopar winch guard
Mopar winch guard light mounts
I’m liking the list of things to have in the Jeep...I know there’s tons of tool...
Already broke the seal and I’m still in D status but figure it’ll be fun to have some boxes to play with until it arrives! Yesterday I ordered the following from Quadratec:
K&N AirCharger Performance Intake
Mopar Grille & Winch Guard - plan to do either a light bar or (2) 5” lights mounted on...
The real test will be when I hook up my boat...I took it to the scales a few summers ago.
Fully gassed up + all my gear, it tipped the scales at 5680 lbs. The trailer adds another 1300 lbs, so total tow weight = 6920 lbs.
Luckily I only need to tow it 2 miles to the boat launch a few times...
Finally got a VIN, updated it in Progressive...added gap insurance. Brings me to a whooping $299 for 6 months ($49.83/month).
For the record, I'm 42, clean driving record, top-tier credit score and live in VT. Glad I decided to compare rates, as GEICO would have got triple that out of me! Like...
https://www.domednumbers.com has some incredible 3D style stickers for boat registrations that I've used for years and they are high quality - I'm sure they'd be able to whip up something decent for the tailgate using their custom sticker creator (https://www.domednumbers.com/request-proof)
I just called Progressive - not sure if this is real?
For the same policy as what I have with Geico but a $500 deductible (instead of $1k) I was quoted:
$21.27 first month
$54.16/month for 5 months
I had her run it on a similar VIN I grabbed since I don’t have mine yet but that seems crazy low!
So I called Geico (my current provider for the last 14 years, listed in their Preferred status with no accidents/tickets on record during this period). My current premium on a 2014 SRT is $102/month and I carry a $1000 deductible since I’m not accident-prone.
According to Geico, same coverage...
Tried searching the threads for pics or info regarding a possible subwoofer? I ordered the Alpine upgraded system...has anyone seen/heard it?
Edit: found my answer! Although any pics of the subwoofer would be cool!
Tint
Ceramic coating
Winch tubular guard and 5” accessory lights
Matte black grill
Tubular doors
Do people upgrade their exhaust systems on these rigs? I like a little growl ;)
I upgraded to the Alpine 8.4”...does this system have a subwoofer? (my SRT system does and it rocks...would be bummed...
Dealer let me know my loaded Black Rubicon that I put order in on 4/29 went to D status this morning, just waiting for a build date shortly...come on, Gladwagon!
Finally got some time this weekend to install my Racon hoist for the new Gladwagon (decided I’m going with GLADWGN for my plate...feel free to borrow unless you’re in VT ;))
This thing is pretty sweet and just thankful I didn’t fall during install...definitely could have used an assistant...
According to my dealer, steel bumpers are now closed out for orders...and believes LED lights will be next? Wasn’t sure what this meant but sounds like he’s familiar with this dance?
